Crazy being in the UK where fusion strike, brilliant stars and astral all being available to buy for £130-£145, and then on the other side of the pond seeing US prices for paldea and twilight Masquerade going for 150-170 Not sure what to make of seeing that to be honest but seems that the US market has gone absolute bonkers right now. Will be interesting to see prices next summer when everything naturally dips along with the possibility of future reprints 😅
Yeah I don't know what's going on with our Fusion stock. Feels like we got America's supply and they got ours. 😂 I think it would be all gone but they've put that bloody one per customer limit on it
I was wondering the same with Fusion Strike. I’ve bought two booster boxes from Pokemon Center at £144 a box as I think it should rise in price whenever it eventually sells out. Given the age of the set, it shouldn’t be much more than a year before that price starts to increase. Oddly enough, there are sales on eBay for £150-160 a booster box in the UK.
@monkey39128 Yeah I would say the same but it's 1 per order. You can still order 10 boxes on a single occasion but they just have to be bought separately per order. I think they have partly done this because it stops people from obtaining sealed cases, as even when I've ordered 6 in separate orders it doesn't come in a case. There's either a shortage of demand here or we got over supplied for sure. But if we were over supplied it doesn't make sense to make the limit of 1 per customer if they were trying to get rid of it 🤷♂️ We have a strange market here in the UK for sure 😆
@RyanOrWelshy Ebay your paying a £6-16 premium to be able to view the booster boxes and make sure they are in good condition. With PC you run the risk of smalls tears and rips in the plastic seal as there packaging consists of a couple of bands of green or clear air wraps which sometimes aren't even protecting the box it's just there to stop the box from jumping around all over the place in the delivery box 😆
@@monkey39128 either way, it's the number2 item next to a booster box, and if peoplelike the promo, most would take the pc etb. I bought an obsidian flames pc etb for 140 yesterday. Call me crazy, don't care. I'm still deciding if I want yo open it and get the promo graded, or keep it sealed. I think the psa 10 window pane charmander is around the 600USD mark.
Good advice Vape! 😅if only one person listens so be it! I’m a seasoned person in the hobby …my god this is not what you think …I pray ppl will be more realistic & think this through. Everyone I know that got in with me had gotten out & sold 2 years ago hahaha …I’ve already been hurt bro…only thing I’ve done is held…eBay fees are wack…ummmm don’t believe everything that ppl say! Smh
Isn’t it low risk to buy new sets at retail price $100-$110 and just hold them and not worrying about reprints? Sure a reprint will possible make it go to $90 but not worrying too much about small downside knowing that after the printing stops it goes up again.
Nice! It was like that in the UK a few weeks ago but they've jumped since then. Zavvi did a sale where they cleared a load out at £90 a box and now they're £125+. Market's on steroids.
Where are you finding those? The cheapest I've found now are €115 and most are €120 and above... (still a lot cheaper than the US though😛) But yeah if they bought them here in Europe, it won't make a big different for them either as they have to pay high shipping and import fees... If the prices over here would be that high I'd probably wait... Then again, we have to pay a lot more to get those PC ETB's over here so i guess it kinda compensates like that...😅
agreed. the Japanese quality control also blows English out the water, let alone like you said, more readily available now. sure the market for Japanese isn’t great now but it’s definitely a long term investment if you can wait
I like to be able to read my cards. Most agree. Japanese didn’t hold a candle to English until Covid hype. It ran up because English got out of most peoples price range. It has normalized as of recently. Not to say I don’t hold any Japanese, but don’t expect it to do as well or better than English. It very likely will not.
@@zachexum4203 except there ARE Japanese cards that hold more monetary value than the English counterparts. just because you can’t read the card doesn’t mean there isn’t still a large market for Japanese that will only go up when prints run low. yes more people prefer English now but the Japanese market is still alive and there’s more availability for those who purely want to collect for the art and for the love of Pokémon
@@zachexum4203 and i like consistency in my print quality, most agree. not to mention there ARE Japanese cards that hold more monetary value than the English counterparts. even if you can’t read it, doesn’t mean there isn’t a large market for those who still love the art and Pokemon card as a whole
The Poke finance bros have completely lost the narrative now. No going back, more meltdowns to come from people who are worried about how you spend your money. They don’t want you buying new Pokémon whatsoever.
At the moment the hobby is growing enough to support it. There's seemingly still a lot of people opening this stuff. I wouldn't be holding this stuff for 10, 20, 30 years though, impossible to know where the hobby will be at that point.
@@TheSnackAttackingSnorlax I doubt it'll be rare in the sense that you'll probably be able to find it on ebay quite easily. Some WOTC boxes aren't even considered rare. It will however be a lot scarcer than it is today.
Well said man. Don´t always follow the herd. Think for yourself. Be there before the product has blown up.
The problem is patience and sometimes financial stability. The moral is never to sell in a panic. History shows that everything has gone up over time.
Yeah no. I only spend money I can afford to spend on fun things. Worse case scenario, I’m stuck with a bunch of awesome cards I love (oh no).
Yeah exactly. Pokémon is fun and often lucrative, but never bet the farm.
Do we really think these sets won’t be reprinted ? TM is only a few months old why are people not learning from the past

@@pokemattsden fair point - the risk paid off in this instance as both booster boxes arrived unscathed thankfully.
Can you imagine if TM catches up with Chilling, Fusion and LO? 😂
Surging sparks bout to be $200 by Xmas 🎄! Believe it!
@@TheSnackAttackingSnorlax Nothing would surprise me at this point. I'd be tempted to sell if it moves that fast.
Spend Spend Spend its BULL SEASON EVERYTHING IS GOING UP !!
Thinking that inflation may be kicking in as well, great video
As always!
They gonna learn 😂😂😂😂
This is the 2024 Tauros run. The only thing people should be looking at, is the pc etbs for twilight masquerade are still in stock.
Yeah that's a bit surprising. Maybe they upped the print runs on them.

Bro really linked the word reprint like people don't know what it means or something
None of it really matters, we'll be using pokemon cards for heat very soon
Just buy it from Europe haha. We still have TM bboxes for €105-110

Japanese products are still super cheap at the moment. Get some Japanese stuff instead of overpaying for modern English
Yeah so many bargains in Japanese right now. I'm glad my English has gone up but I'm not adding to my positions at these prices.

I am still buying TM for $115 in my country lol.
Why do people invest in a kid card game, instead of actual finance things ?
Do you have paper hands, and or diamond hands? I’ve been having sealed products inside those 40 gallon tubs for years, not even thinking about it
Diamonds 💎 Hands ✋
The only set I want them to re-print is evolving skies
Even a reprint would not bring the set down. At least not significantly, maybe $100 if you're lucky and only for a short period.

Yeah, because putting your money in the bank with a lower interest than inflation is smart.. Better try something at least!

100% agree
everyone is holding onto sealed product nowadays, where will the demand come from if everyone already has what they want right now?
I know what you’re saying but no one has as much as they want 😂

SV gunna be hella rare in 5-10 year. The rise of the rip and shippers has changed pokemon forever. So much product being tore through 24/7!
